I just grabbed the full list from projects.apache.org. I'll take a closer
look and slim it down.

Would it make more sense just to list the TLPs? Things like Commons * may be drowning out other projects.

Sorry, I haven't yet had as much time to work on this as I had hoped.
Yes, that's certainly part of my vision - making stuff available so that
people can better advocate the Foundation. Logos, prepared "elevator
speeches", brochures for each of our projects, and so on. Having things
available for people to do it themselves, and also having stuff that we can
send to people who can't, or don't want to, do it themselves, and
everything in between.
Most of this stuff is in fact already available, but making it easier to
find is a pretty common theme on this mailing list.
Logos, for example, are available in high resolution formats, but every
time it comes up, there's yet another thread on members@ about where they
are. They should probably be more readily available (along with information
about correct use) off of http://community.apache.org/
Let's make it happen.

If the logos etc can be made available in some sensible formats,
people can print their own and save the foundation shipping costs.

FYI:
At most of the meetings I attend, T-shirts are not proper attire.
I do, however, print business cards with the Apache Feather
and Apache Software Foundation logo, and include my name
and email address on these cards.
Many of the students and professionals I meet are quite
interested in Apache and anything that is managed open source.
Sincerely,
